So Facebook has reminded me that this time last year I was lying on a hospital trolley shivering uncontrollably with fear for the ablation that I was about to have done.

I'm so thankful that I didn't walk away like I wanted to.

It's been a bumpy year with other medical issues and stress at work and at home, but other than some flutters and bumps occasionally I have remained AF symptom free for 12 months, and that is a wonderful feeling.

A Facebook friend also told me today that he had an ablation 10 years ago, and is still AF free, and frequently cycles 60 miles plus, so there is hope !

Thanks everyone that has given me advice and support over the last couple of years, this place has kept me going through some pretty dark times
